I must be dense, but I'm not having any luck searching news group posts in
outlook. I'm using Outlook 2000. I click on find, add my criteria and hit
search, but it always returns nothing, even if I'm looking at a post that
has the info I'm searching. What am I doing wrong?

Actually, you're using Outlook Express when you view the newsgroups.
Outlook doesn't read news on its own; it uses Outlook Express in a news only
mode (no mail functions available) for newsreading. If you don't believe
me, click Help in the newsreader window, and look what it says next to
"About" :-) For future Outlook Express questions, you'll likely get a
better and faster answer by posting in an OE group.

That said, maybe I can help you with this one. Are you using the regular
Find function or the Advanced Find?
